Isiah Thomas said he won't have a role with the Knicks this season, but left the door open for an eventual return.

That sound you hear is a collective groan coming from Knicks fans across the country. While Thomas will join the New York Liberty of the WNBA as president and part-owner, this move also brings him back into the Madison Square Garden fold with friend and Knicks owner, Jim Dolan. When asked about a possible return to the NBA, Thomas said, "I am interested in basketball period. You never know where life takes you. I make no plans; I didn’t plan to end up here. None of us know where we’re going to be 5-10 years from now." Sorry, Knicks fans. May 7 - 1:20 PM

Isiah Thomas has been named the president of the New York Liberty of the WNBA.

While Knicks fans will likely have a few jokes up their sleeve about how the Liberty will trade away all their first-round picks, the reality is the Liberty just have to hope he doesn't damage their franchise too much. He's Jim Dolan's guy, and it will be interesting to see how his transition back into the big leagues proceeds.Thomas will also have part ownership of the team, according to Chris Broussard of ESPN.

Brandon Jennings (Achilles) is progressing in his rehab, but still isn't running and may miss the start of the regular season, according to Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy.

While Jennings is aiming to be ready for the start of the regular season, Van Gundy doesn't seem to think that's a sure thing. "Obviously still not at the point of running or anything," Van Gundy said. "Can start to do a little bit more activity all the time. We're hopeful. We've still got about 14 weeks before the season opens. We've got a long time. We're hoping that he will be back and ready to play but it may not be at the beginning of the year." We'll keep an eye on Jennings' progress, but he's not much more than a late-round flier in standard fantasy league drafts at this point.
